A Kansas billiard table is thus described
: "First, in the middle of the floor, was
a large goods box, on which was laid about a
wagon load of sand-stone, covered with about
eight vards of blue jeans. For pockets they
had old boots, about No. 10; for cues they
used old broken hoe-handles: boiled eesa for
balls, and to count this lovely game they used
dried apples on a clothes line."
A correspondent of the Cabinet Maker
fives the following recipe as one which has

cedar sawdust, four ounces. Mix thoroughly
and strew, or put in papers among the

In California they have a peculiar way
of tempering justice with mercy. A jury in
that State found a Chinaman guilty of murder
in the first degree, but recommended him j
to the mercy of the court. The Judge consulted
the District Attorney as to what "mercy"
was possible in the case, who considered
that by a stretch in the law the sheriff might
be instructed to hang him with a soft rope.
A savant has discovered with the microscope
that when we pour milk into a cup of
tea, the albumen of the milk and the tannin
of the tea instantly unite and form leather, or f
minute flakes of the very same compound/

hides, and which makes it leather as distin
guished from the original skin. He conse
quently estimates that in the course of a yea

enough leather to make a pair of shoes.

J After Susan B. Anthony lectured at
' Ripon, Wisconsin, she wanted some recreation
and amusement, so she took a walk, on
Sanday, around the graveyard there. W hile
she was enjoying the literature on a tombstone,
she heard a lot of small boys saying,
"That's her," and she thought, "Such is fame."
Congratulating herself that even the children
of the land knew her, she was accosted by an
urchin, who said, "Say, ain't you the old woman

The men composing the body of the
late Paris Commune, with the exception of
such well known characters as Assy, Bergeret,
Cluseret, Pyat, Grousset and some others,
were nearly all rough and untutored workmen,
who were led by the men of superior
education. They ranged between the ages of i
twenty-five and fifty-one, and had in general
a very rough exterior, and among them were
some bad faces. They were originally eighty
in number, and held their meetings in secretJ'
It was always in executive session, and only
such portions of its deliberations were printed
as it desired.
While the largest breweries of Enelane.
produce each from seventy to ninety millions
of quarts of beer annually, the largest brew-,
ery of Germany produces about twenty-three
millions of quarts, and the largest of Austria
about thirty-eight millions of quarts. Irrespective
of its export and import, England
consumes about one hundred and twenty
quarts of that beverage annually to each head
of her population ; Belgium, sixty-four; Germany,
forty-eight; Austria, twenty; France,
eighteen; Switzerland, sixteen quarts. At
Munich, Bavaria, about two hundred and
thirty quarts of lager beer to each head of the
population are consumed annually. Munich
is the most noted city for beer drinking in the
world.
The great "pigeon-roost" in Wisconsin
presents some features of interest, apart from
the fact of the immense numbers of these birds
that being slaughtered by hunters and
shipped to the large cities. The present
"roost/* which is for incubating purposes, extends
over a tract of country eight or ten
miles wide and.about forty or forty-five miles
in length. The pigeonB have taken possession
of the woods, and their nests are on every tree.
They number quite as many as the leaves in
Vallombroea. A peculiarity of the method
of rearing the young of these pigeons is that
when the former are two weeks old the mother
birds fill their crops with food and desert them.
This oueer domestic prooees is now going on in
the Wisconsin woods, where these millions of
pigeons are congregated.
Information has reached the Treasury
department of a singular will just made in
New York. A gentleman named Derby, of
that city owns property to the amount of eleven
million dollars, much of it in England, and
in his will he has devised the whole estate
conditionally to the United States. The conditions
of the legacy are that Congress shall
pass an act guaranteeing perpetual interest on
the amount at three per cent. This interest
is to be paid quarterly to the heirs of Mr.
Darby. His immediate heirs at present are
five nephews and nieces and one grand-niece.
The substanoe of this curious proposition is, >
in short, that Mr. Derby agrees to give at his |
death eleven millions to the government, in re-;
turn for which the latter shall engage to dis-'
tribute among the heirs of the testator the sum i
of three hundred and thirty thousand dollars I
yearly forever, or practically so long as any
record of the fhmily can be kept. . I
A San Francisco correspondent of the j
New Orleans Times gives the following gloomy ;
picture of the condition of Californiar "We !
are having very hard times, indeed; very j
many people are leaving us, returning to their |
old homes east of the Rocky Mountains. This j
dry year has broken up many farmers ;'pro-1
visions are very high ; in fact, the only thing |
that does not tumble down is what we area n
obliged to have?something to eat Our berry' ei
season has come round again; strawberries p
are twenty-five cents for two pounds?cheap
enough, you will think ; but then flour, from
which we make the staff of life, bread, is $8 50
& barrel; potatoes two cents a pound for old
and three lor new; sweet potatoes five cents
a pound. The common necessaries of life are ^
high, labor scarce, and money hard to get ?
hold of. You can see the laboring classes G
must be very bad off As I have said before, j it
this is a very poor country for either farming ^
or stock-raising, as the grain to feed the farmer
and the grass to feed the stock both depend on ^
the rain, which often foils to come when most
needed." P

THE CROP PROSPECTS. ai
On Monday last?sales-day?we made in- H
quiries of a number of persons from the coun- ai
try, in relation to the condition of the grow- tl
ing crops in this county.. The information ai
we received is of a much more cheering char- e1
acter than we had anticipated. Wheat has
been somewhat injured by rust in some sec- ti
tions, yet in others, the prospect is good for a c<
fair crop. Corn is small but is growing finely, tl
and presents a promising appearance. In t(
several localities, especially on sandy lands, p
fhp ont.tnn has been iniured bv the cold weath- c<
er, but taken altogether, the "stands" are us- w
ually sufficient for all practical purposes. 01

THE "INTERVIEW" WITH THE MILITARY, y,
The Chester Reporter of last week, speaks t<
quite flippantly of the "interview" recently c<
had between Major Merrill and a number of fl
our citizens, an extended account of which we h
published on the 18th ultimo. The Reporter p
has evidently arrived at its conclusions without
giving the subject due consideration, and
its hasty comments, to say the least, are liable
to be construed as an apology for outrages g
committed in the name of Ku-Klux, and an d
implied desire for a continuation of the turbu- I
lent spirit so manifest only a short time ago? S
neither of which impressions we believe the v
Reporter contemplated or desired to convey, e
We do not conceive that Major Merrill's ?
position in this interview can be construed as c
giving "a warning, accompanied by an unhandsome
threat," as the Reporter would seem *
to regard it; nor is the action of the citizens, ^
in their efforts to maintain order, liable to the !t(
assumption of obligations 0
abiding or OrdCr-loving community. They tdo
not propose to assist the military by "posting
themselves on all imaginable roads at the *
dead of night to watch for the midnight raid- n
ersbut on the contrary, they wish to avoid P
the necessity of any such extreme vigilance
by discountenancing and frowning down ! tl
unlawful acts, and rendering the intervention ?
of military authority unnecessary. In attain- I
ing this object, the action of our citizens? v
which meets the approval of all considerate p
men?will go much further, we opine, than a u
stubborn persistence in the course indicated s<
by the Reporter, which could only entail trou- c
ble upon an entire county for the actions of a ii
few irresponsible men who have neither repu- I
tation nor property to forfeit. e
The Reporter insists that by the promulga- j v
tion of a card signed by numbers of our best S(
citizens?signatures to which, we are pleased ! c
to know, are still coming in?they are "under-: v
taking to assist Major Merrill in doing what ti
he has by a distinct threat commanded." If, a
our friend will give the card a more carefulj t;
perusal, he will perceive that the citizens have i b
undertaken no such task. They simply say :! v
"As mem here of the community, whose com- tl
mon interest is imperilled, we pledge our in-j h
dividual efforts and influence to prevent fur-! "
fcher acts of violence, and will aid and sup- j
port the civil authorities in bringing offenders I o
to justice." It is only the civil authorities ! o
that our citizens propose to assist in maintain- J1
ing order. While, in some instances, it might h
be necessary for the civil authorities to invoke j y
the aid of the military, it is a stubborn fact fi
which the Reporter has lost sight of, that the h
9
9 ' '?
lilitary never calls upon the civil officers,
ither in making arrests of offenders or in-disosing
of them after the arrests have been
lade!

BETTER THAN COTTON!
In the Plantation of May 27th, it is staid,
in the editorial department, that Mr.
Leid, who keeps a dairy farm near Atlanta,
leorgia, has a cow which has made for him,
l the last eleven years, the fabulous sum of
,vo thousand dollars. The cow is fourteen
ears old and gives four gallons of milk per
ay. Mr. Reid sold his milk at fifteen cents
er gallon and his butter at fifty cents per
ound. WoulJl it not be ..well for some of
nr good farn^rs in the neighborhood of
rorkville, to think of the propriety of engaing
in the milk and butter business ? It is
o uncommon thing for those of us who are
c<SUstomed to depend upon the market for
utter, to be unable to purchase a single
ound for several days in succession. It is
o uncommon thing for us, even when we are
ble to get it in great abundance, to be forced
> put up with the poorest kind of an article?
a insipid thing that has neither taste nor
utriment in it. Good butter, such as Mr.
Leid of Atlanta, no doubt, makes, would sell
^ oil tinico rAfldilv in Ynrkville for at least
venty-five cents per pound.
In order to engage in this business, prepartion
must be made to have good pastures for
ie cows during the summer and fall; and
ood shelters afad plenty of Ibod for them dm
ing the winter and spring. It is no wondei
lat butter is often scarce, and it is a less woner
that it is poor in our country. Cows
lust be hardy animals, or the whole of them
ould have long since died out. In summei
lany of them are committed to the mercy ot
ie old and thrown out fields ; and in wintei
ley are left to the mercy of the winds and
lins and snow. Their food usually, in win;r,
is a few corn shucks scattered over the
arn lot in the mud and mire. By the time
lat spring arrives and the grass begins tc
row, the poor creatures have the hollow-horn
ccasioned by an empty stomach.
As cows are at present attended to in thif
sgion, we admit there is not much made bj
hem; but this is no reason why money cannot
e made from a dairy farm.. We are reliably
iformed that two individuals have com
lenced, on a small scale, dairy farms. in the
icinity of Charlotte, N. C., and they fine
hem very remunerative. These individuals
ought up old lands and prepared them
roperly for pasture, and in the language o:
ur informant, "are revolutionizing the agri
ultural notions of the whole community ir
'hich they reside." It is no use to say that
ur lands are not adapted to dairy farming
- * 11
'o all human appearances they are equally
s good as the lands in the neighborhood oJ
itlanta,Ga., or Charlotte, N. C. If our lands
re not adapted to dairy farming, we db nol
now it to be a fact. It is only guess wori
ith us. No one has ever regularly tried it
[r. Reid, of Atlanta, has twenty-five acres
>wn in clover. The soil is said to be broken
ad thin, and yet it is affirmed that jt would
ield, on an average, mote than a ton of hay
> the acrp. 'We are. crodibly informed
iat clover can be raised, and dairy farming
profitable as far South as Atlanta, Georgia,
ad in the vicinity of Charlotte, N. C. Now
hy will not clover grow in York county,
ad why may not dairy farming be profitable
ere as well as any place else? We imag;
rfpThear the'well known reason that som<;
Ljis axa-accustomedy to give against every
ling that is new br jnrfln
ome of turnavu GhtTarguuieut fbFlvery thing,
t is the child's argument. It is an unanverable
argument. It is simply "because,"
ad nothing more. Properly managed, a
airy farm would prove lucrative in the vimity
of York village. We have got it into
ur heads that we are a doomed people. We
re limited, we think, to the cultivation of a
ttle corn and cotton. Our soil and climate
ad our everything, we think, is adapted to
lese and nothing else. This is all nonsense,
nd is practically making us dependant upon
eery body. Whenever some energetic and
mnomical man gives dairy farming a fail
-ial and fails, it will be time to say that this
mntry is not adapted to it, and not before
iat time. It has long since been demonstra;d
that "all cotton" does not remunerate the
lanter; this is especially true when.it is "alt
" " ?mq Kqq onrrif
HWn Willi tsvcrjf uuujr. alio unuu utw w?.>
'hen it is our interest and duty to diversify
ur labors. The providence of God forces if
pon us, and if we refuse to follow its indicajms
we must suffer the penalties. Whethei
e like it or not, we must devote our attention
) something else besides the cultivation ol
otton. Why not, among other things, try
airy farming? In every country where il
as been energetically engaged in, it haj
roved a source of wealth and comfort.
WASHINGTON ITEMS.
The sub-committee of the Ku-Klux con'
ressional committee held a meeting on Thure
ay at the Capitol, present Senators Scott
W and Blair, and Representatives Coburn

,'ere Representatives Poland and Peck. Sev
ral responses were received from Southerr
states in compliance with a circular of th<

Lmong those summoned is Judge James L

i obtain only a general view of the conditio!
f the South particularly since the passage 01
he Ku-Klux law, and to make a report t<
be full committee, to meet in Washington or

An interesting case has just neen aeciaeu 11
he United States Court of Claims. Louiss
ledway, an English woman, sojourning ir
forth Carolina during the war, not only de
oted her time and service, but furnished sup
lies to Union troops, relieving them with th<
itmost liberality. Her cotton was seized anc
old, and she petitioned to the court for the re
overy of the proceeds of the sale. But dur
og the latter part of the war she wrote tc
'resident Jefferson Davis a letter, in which sh<
xpressed in warm terms her loyalty to him
fith the view, it is supposed, that she migh'
Bcure his assistance in her getting out of th<
ountry and sailing for her home. This fac
fas, unfortunately for her, brought to the no
ice of the court, the letter having been fount
mong the captured Confederate archives ii
his city, the genuineness of which was provet
y comparing the manuscript with the hand
friting of her petition. The court admittet
his as evidence, and gave a decision agains
ier on the ground that she thus furnishet
aid and comfort to the enemy."
Advices have been received at the Indiai
flice, giving the details of the late massacn
f Indians by white citizens near Camp Grant

'jj For instance, the almost impassible concfi- (

magine I have no taste for such things. Iam

[ would return clothed with power from the

frfal of Congressman Bowen. (
?? The trial of Congressman Bowen on a <
lecond charge of bigamy, occupied five days <
n the District Court of Washington, and was '
jlosed on Saturday. The jury was out twenty
ninutes, and brought in a verdict of guilty. J
Ee made a motion for a new trial, and was
eleased on bail. It was shown in the trial ,
Bowen's claim for a divorce was based upon j
Taud and forgery. He claimed to have projured
a divorce in one of the Courts of New
Sfork city. The docket of the County Court '
>f New York, the only record bearing upon "j
he subject, was produced on the trial, and it 1

he names of a party suing for divorce, and I
he names of "Bowen vs. Bowen" inserted in 1
heir stead. The District Attorney argued 1
hat if the jury believe the paper purporting j
a be the record of the divorce in New York (
vas obtained by fraud, or not copied from tjie \
uiginal, they cannot regard it as a decree of '
livorce. If it was a true copy it is void; if i
he jury, further believe that Bowen and *
Frances Bowen, or either of them, were atthe j
ime residents of the Confederate States; and ^
f they find that Bowen was a soldier 0/ the t
Confederate States in 1864, he cannot b* re- t
;arded as having been a citizen of New Fork t

0 subserve the purposes of Republican poli- I
icians, there are occasional evidences of a g
isposition on the part of northern's to lo- ?
ate in southern States. The plan nfost pop- *
lar seems to be the colonization system. The
few York correspondent of the Phladelphia 0
Record, writing under date of Jundist; says: u
"There is a considerable emigration of me- a
hanics and others to North Carolina from v
bis city, through means of specuative land n
ompanies, who have bought cneaj tracts and tl
ivided them up into small farms ind village g

the Mountain Creek: section. 1
It will be remembered that Faulkner was
engaged, shortly before his death, in a KuKlux
afiair in Newberry. ^The object of the
Ku-Klux wr^th in this caiCy was n negro by
the name of Sim, Young, a .County Commisliooer
of Newberry, who vas shot and slightly
injured. And bot himself alone,but also
bis wife and daughter. Neither ofthe three,
however, mortally. Young also shot and
wounded a man in the kna.^:YKis man turned
out to be. Faulkner, wh>, unable to escape,
was arrested and lodged n the jail of ft&Wn ?
berry. Very soon after this, he was released
on bail, and seeming.to tfink it wise to get
out of the way, set off, an don the I9th reached
the house of Maj. Wiilinis, wheire, on account
of his wound,"he wasobliged to stop. *
In the inquest-held, on tle22nd May, Lewis
Culbreath, Esq., Trial Justice, acted as
Coroner, whiletheiury wascomposod of high- t
ly respectable ana intelligent citizens. The :
only witnesses in the matteiwere Mrs. Faulkner,
wife of the murdered ban, and Mr. J. C.
Williams, son of Maj. Wiliamson Wflliaqa. ;
rhe evidence brings out n(thing new, simply'
corroborating thefacte alrjady known to the ,
public. Go night of tie 21st, a man, unknown

Williams, stated that be hal come to inform
the Wounc'-J man that bis whereabouts was

jase to Faulkner, asked if ie should admit .
;he stranger. Faulkner lade him do so. t
rhe stranger entered the roan where Faulk- <
ler lay, and Mrs. Faulkner being present, re- <
jueeted to speak privately b; him. At the \
jehest of Faulkner,. Mrs. B and Mrs. Wiliam
left the room. After ^maining a short ]
?
hen returned to Fiiulkher, who told them
hat he believed the man tc'be his friend, and
hat he had gone out to /bring in a mead

lonse and reqnested to fldiver, pntat^f/to t
^aulkner a message fron his friend at the ate.
Upon this, Faallner again -requested

rhich they did. After another short tarry, :

leir commands. Upon tbs the first named
j i
nan and one of the latter four rushed into the
house, into Faulkner's room, and fired two
shots into his body. They then came rapidly
out of the house and through the gate. Simultaneously
Mr. Williams was released, and
all five men made off precipitately. Mr. Williams
hastened to the house where he found'poor
Faulkner a lifeless corpse?one shot
through his head and another through his
thi$h. Mrs. Faulkner, having been twice
obliged to leave.the room, saw andjtnit baf Xlitilfl

name of Taylor, who fivea at Saluda Old

move him some miles further that nigfit, in a
spring wagon, and finally get him off into
North Carolina.
This is the ram and substance of the evidence,
and the verdict of the jury of inquest i
is in accordance. The affair is very horrible
and very mysterious. We make no useless surmises,
but await further developments.
